The Ottoman Empire didn't welcome the newcomers, but it was certainly a much better place for these Jews to live than Spain or Portugal. The Ottoman Empire didn't welcome the newcomers beause they had an opposing Muslim religion previously. I apologize this isn't the complete answer, as I do not know much on this topic
